Research
The Remote sensIng for envirOnment and Sustainability (RIOS) laboratory is headed by Dr. G. Moser at the Savona Campus of the University of Genoa and framed within the Methods and Systems for Signal Processing and Recognition operational unit of the Department of Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunications Engineering, and Naval Architecture (DITEN).
The research activity of the lab focuses on the development of advanced pattern recognition and image analysis methods for information extraction from satellite or aerial remote sensing data, in applications to environment, sustainability, and renewable energies.
The main methodological research topics are:
- Remote sensing image classification
- Bio/geophysical parameter estimation from remote sensing data
- Multitemporal remote sensing image analysis
Technology transfer is also a primary goal. The developed algorithms are designed so that they are easy to use at the end-user level, in spite of the complexity of the image processing and pattern recognition methodologies behind. Strong focus is devoted to accuracy, reliability, computational efficiency, and compliance with the requirements of real-world applications.
